Hello,

I have an app where I allow users to select dates and run reports base off those dates. But the problem I cant figure out is how to exclude the weekends(Sat, Sun) The report should just give data for Mon-Fri.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Don't know if this answers your question. I think your question is a little vague ... So I just answer the first thing I thought of when I saw your question:

(base rails 3 - don't know which version you use)...

class Report < ActiveModel::Base/ActiveRecord::Base     ...    validates :report_date, :no_weekend => true    ... end

and as validator

class NoWeekendValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator    def validate_each(record, attribute, value)      record.errors[attribute] << (options[:message] || "mustn't be a weekend") if value.saturday? || value.sunday?    end end

I don't know if you use a datepicker or which datepicker you could use. But it should be possible to configure it so you can't pick weekends.
